ONTARIANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT COMMITTEE ANNOUNCEMENT

PLEASE CIRCULATE

The Ontario Legislature is holding its first session on the
afternoon of Thursday April 22, 1999. The Government's Throne
Speech will be read at that time. As has been the case in the
past, the public gallery at Queens Park is largely inaccessible
to people with various disabilities.

Accordingly, we have been arranging for two Committee Rooms at
Queens Park to be made available to us to watch the Throne Speech
on TV Monitors. Sign language interpreters and attendant care
will be available.

We strongly encourage as many people with disabilities as
possible to come and be with us at this important event. Plan to
arrive at 2:30 p.m. and expect that all shall be finished by 5
p.m. Meet in the main lobby of the Legislative Building at
Queens Park.

Because our space will be limited, we ask that you RSVP if you
wish to attend. Please expect that RSVP's will be dealt with on
a first-come, first-served basis.
